US EditionResident doctors threaten further strikes as government rules out additional pay hikes
ENGLAND, JUL 29 – A British Medical Association survey reveals 33% of resident doctors lack specialty training jobs, with 52% finishing foundation training without substantive employment amid ongoing NHS disputes.
- Next month, a third of resident doctors and half of those finishing foundation training lack secured specialty training posts, a BMA survey shows.
- The BMA said the government pledged to create 1,000 new specialty training posts over three years, but more than 30,000 doctors applied for just 10,000 places this year.
- A poll of 4,400 doctors revealed a majority of resident doctors completing FY2 lack secure employment from August, and the BMA seeks a deal on training places.
- Concluding its five-day walkout on Wednesday, NHS officials will publish postponed appointments, procedures, and operations later this week.
- Amid ongoing negotiations, NHS England is soon expected to publish its first-phase training review report overseen by Professor Sir Stephen Powis and Professor Sir Chris Whitty, with both sides prepared for further talks.
